I had a MOHAA 1.11 server up and running, found everything I wanted now with Spearhead the "Tweeks" don't work... I want to
*have a custom message from the console apprear at intervals
*replace "press fire" with a custom message
*have custom messages apprear when a user hits tab....

I found how to do this with MOHAA but they don't work with Spearhead...
in addition the swear filter goes right along with the "press fire" thing....

Help

Yes these are probs right now with Spearhead. So far the callvote.cfg works outside of the pk3 files but not the loc.txt for custom death msg and swear filters. You can modify this and place it back into the pk3 file but this brings up pure server probs....check out the spearhead section for details.

I sure appreciate the help but which pk3 is the callvote.cfg in.... colour me dumb.... and can I add the contents of my loc.txt/swear filter into it, then recompile it?

I appreciate the link to the "Pure Server" Probs, but I didn't see it...

Thanks

Heres my guide on the callvote.cfg:

http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=28

Im pretty sure these files need to be seperate...the callvote.cfg and loc.txt.

The problem with pure server turned on is that if you mod you pk3 files you maybe in trouble getting on some servers and thats the only way to change the loc.txt file. The callvote.cfg on the other hand can be ran outside of the pk3 file.

Phew.... Got what u suggested done... Didn't add any voting items.... just took out a bunch... btw this is a pure server 24.145.164.226 so getting on a server isn't a concern... Seperated out the callvote.cfg.... much easier to manipulate.... Thanks

At the moment the only thing I'm allowing vote on is maps....

*Still want/need to have console messages pop up from time to time.
*want to replace the "Press Fire" to join battle message
*populate the map text box with server info

Thanks

Can change all voting... all speeds, all everything execpt one.... then it will be as good as my MOHAA Server

*How do I populate the Map Blocks.... you know like when u hit tab.... or at the end of the map.... and
*Bad Language Filter.... Global\localization.txt doesn't work

First one I dont know....

Second one was rumored that you can edit it and put it back in the pk3 file. Thats when you get into pure server probs because you have altered a standard pk3 which is what the pure server option looks for.

As far as the swear filter, the makers have not responed yet so no clue when an update will come out:(

Appreciate the help.. AutoKick Does wonders. Already got callvote.cfg pulled out of it's .pk3 and changed.... someone said it could exist out of the Archieve, it does... ppl can hook up.... it shows on GameSpy... what probs can occur?

If U run accross a swear filter, or way to populate those blocks... a heads up would be appreciated...

This is what i have been told:

If you are a client with a modified standard pk3 and try to connect to a server with pure set on you should be denied access.

This is what i would like to know:

If you are a server with pure set on and you have modified standard pk3s and clients try to connect, will they be able?

Hmmm.... lets look at this....

Realize my Server is never a client.... It's a dedicated Box...

I have not altered my .pk3's and I can connect.... plus I get plenty of visitors.... and would have to assume most if not all of them are un changed.... check my server out
24.145.164.226
and let me know... but...

I can't think of anyreason I would change a pk3 file on a client machine... well that's not true.... I hate the new scopes..

So I can answer with some degree of certainty... and U can verify
Yes.... altered server No Prob

Altered client.... yet to have reason to try
